Movies that you Love that everybody else seems to Hate!

I happen to love LXG(League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) (2003) Starring; Sean Connery, Shae West, Stuart Townsend etc. Everybody else in my family seems to hate this movie. What movies do YOU love that every else seems to HATE?

Recent ones I've enjoyed:
"Not One Less" from China, "Koyla" from Czechoslovakia, "Infernal Affairs" also from China, "Shall We Dance?" Japanese original ('hated the American version), "Shadow Magic" from China, "Babette's Feast" from Denmark, "Like Water for Chocolate" Mexico, "Joint Security Area" from Korea, "Story of the Weeping Camel" Mongolian/German, "Run, Lola, Run" from Germany...and so many others!

One of my favorite movies ever from when I was a little girl is "legend" directed by ridley scott. It stars tom cruise and mia sara. It was a total bomb at the box office, but I looooooooved it. I have recently purchased the dvd, and I can see what the problems with it are now, but I still like it a lot.

In a galaxy far far away

Yay! Happy topic!

I loved the Village

Other Movies...
Fight Club - very smart & actually better than the book... Hmmm...(at least the folks I know...)

Star Wars Prequel... How did you think it was going to start? I so don't understand why everyone was so upset... He was a baby! And if you really pay attention to the story, you can see the natual progression to the "dark side." The only part I have a problem with is how unmanly Samual L. Jackson looked running in his robe during the battle at the collusium. Oh! And R2D2 flying...

Kwanford, where people are upset is NOT in teh story line, but how George went about using computers over everything else. Every shot in these movies is mostly computer. The actors basically were acting in a green screen room. It makes the movie look crappy.

and everyone I know hate's Jar Jar. How annoying can one get?

That being said, while I hate what Lucas is doing with the movies, I will be first in line at the local theatre this May when the final prequil comes out... it looks to be good, story wise.

George Lucas lost teh magic of star wars because he got too interested in graphics... it's not real anymore (not only that but why are they so technologically defieciant AFTER the prequils? wouldn't they advance?) :sheesh:

Because of the Evil Empire!!! The people of the galaxy lost a lot of their control, money and technology once the Empire swooped down and over ran their governments. Also, the envirnments on most of the planets went south, so the Naboo in Movie 1 is a lot different 20 years later...

Jar Jar was needed because the future Emporior needed a flunky to take the bill about building the droid army.

The first Star Wars was made almost entirely on a movie soundstage with lots of models & blue screens...

Ooops! My inner nerd is coming out... But its cool, I've been having this arguement approximately once every six months since Episode 1 came out... I'm just a sucker for Star Wars!

And I honestly believe that all of the story lines will come together in Episode 3 ~ but like you, I will be first in line!
